FRP Handrails
RailEX® DURABLE FRP ACCESS HANDRAILS
The RailEX® FRP handrail range is an advanced industrial-grade solution engineered for long-term performance, structural reliability, and adaptable installation across demanding environments. Designed to support a wide range of industrial applications throughout Asia, Treadwell’s FRP handrail systems can be customised to meet project-specific operational and compliance requirements. RailEX® can be supplied as individual components or as fully prefabricated systems ready for rapid onsite installation.
EX-Series® MODULAR FRP HANDRAIL SYSTEMS
Treadwell’s FRP handrail systems provide a smarter alternative to conventional welded metal railings due to their efficient modular design, which significantly reduces the need for complex engineering, detailed drafting, and onsite welding works. This streamlined approach helps lower both installation timelines and long-term maintenance expenses. Our FRP safety handrail systems are designed for flexibility, allowing extensions, modifications, or onsite adjustments with minimal effort. Pre-engineered kits are delivered with clearly organised components and straightforward assembly instructions for faster deployment. To support ongoing operational efficiency, replacement parts and spare components are readily available from stock, helping minimise downtime and maintenance disruptions.
ZERO-WELD INSTALLATION SYSTEM
RailEX® utilises a practical zero-weld assembly method that helps minimise corrosion risks while improving installation safety and efficiency. The system is designed for easy assembly using basic tools and standard labour skills, eliminating the need for specialised welding contractors, hot work permits, fire monitoring, or welding-related safety procedures. FRP materials further enhance workplace safety by removing exposure to toxic welding fumes, reducing hazards in wet environments, and lowering fire-related risks during installation. These advantages make RailEX® a dependable and safer handrail solution for industrial, infrastructure, marine, water treatment, manufacturing, and commercial environments across Asia.
Treadwell’s FRP handrail systems are available in both square and round profile configurations:
Developed in collaboration with engineers, designers, and plant operators, Treadwell delivers the proven advantages of traditional guardrail systems while eliminating common issues associated with steel fabrication, corrosion damage, and onsite hot works requirements. Our high-performance fibreglass handrail systems are engineered to meet demanding industrial standards and deliver dependable performance in harsh coastal, humid, and chemically exposed environments commonly found throughout Asia. Key benefits include outstanding corrosion resistance, non-conductive safety properties, custom fabrication flexibility, lightweight handling, and a long operational lifespan with minimal maintenance requirements.
With the flexibility to supply FRP handrails as modular components or prefabricated panel systems tailored to your project specifications, RailEX® offers a reliable “install and perform” fibreglass safety handrail solution built for long-term industrial use.
Material Composition
RailEX® FRP handrails are manufactured using high-strength fibreglass rovings integrated with premium thermosetting resin systems for enhanced structural performance and durability. The resin formulations used across the EX-Series® product range are engineered with UV-resistant properties and fire-retardant additives to ensure reliable performance in harsh outdoor and industrial environments.
